Remainder and Factor Theorems

Remainder and Factor Theorems. The Remainder Theorem. If a polynomial f(x) is divided by x-a, the remainder is the constant f(a), and Dividend=quotient *divisor +remainder Where is a polynomial with degree one less than the degree of f(x). The Remainder Theorem.

  1. Remainder and Factor Theorems

  2. The Remainder Theorem If a polynomial f(x) is divided by x-a, the remainder is the constant f(a), and Dividend=quotient *divisor +remainder Where is a polynomial with degree one less than the degree of f(x)

  3. The Remainder Theorem Remember Lesson 5-3 for Synthetic Division

  4. The Remainder Theorem Remainder = 1

  5. The Factor Theorem Since the remainder is 0, x-3 is a factor of the polynomial.

  6. The Factor Theorem When you divide the polynomial by one of the binomial factors , the quotient is called a depressed equation.

  7. The Factor Theorem Remainder = 10, therefore (x-2) Is NOT a factor

  8. The Factor Theorem Given a polynomial and one of its factors, find the remaining factors of the polynomial. Some factors may not be binomials.
